Missouri House Democratic Caucus will stand with LGBT community against Republican bills

In this week's minority press conference following the conclusion of the legislative session for the week, Minority Leader Crystal Quade, D-Springfield, addressed a number of issues, including a series of Republican bills that she characterized as "anti LGBT."

"The Democratic caucus is here to stand with the LGBT community," Quade said.

Quade also addressed the Missouri Ethics Commission's findings on the complaint against former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens, who claimed exoneration when the Commission fined his campaign organization $178,000 for accepting illegal contributions, but said it could find no evidence that Greitens knew about those contributions.







"I find it hard to understand how the former governor can equate a large fine of that amount to being exonerated."

Quade noted that you don't get a fine of that size "if you didn't do anything wrong."
